Using Web Clipping to Monitor DZone

Now that I've installed Leopard I figured I would try out a few of it's new features. At first I didn't really get this new Web clip button on Safari. Turns out, it's really kind of useful. It allows one to choose a piece of a web page and auto magically turn it into a widget.



I like DZone's little rising links section on the top left of the home page so I thought I would try it out on that. It's pretty much so easy that even the least technical person should be able to handle this. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the web page that has a part that you like to watch. Some examples might be my.yahoo.com or dzone.com (the one I chose)
2. Click on the button in the top bar of your web browser that looks like a pair of scissors and a dotted rectangle. Should be between the refresh button and the add link button.
3. Move your mouse around and see what clips get highlighted. When one you want to use as a widget is highlighted just click on it.
   
4. Towards the upper right click the "add" button if you like what you have selected and you are done.
5. Now, when you go to your widgets it will be there and refreshed every time.

Enjoy...
